Which routine worked best for you

[Achilles]

Like the titel said. So if its a fb/split/ub+lb/push+pull routine please post the name(like rippetoe or 5x5 etc) or post the whole routine.

To be honest my last routine I made the best progress as far as strength and everything goes:

a 2 split: Chest/Back/Tris, Legs/Shoulders/Bis

2 main sets for each exercise 2 or 3 exercises per bodypart centered around the main compound lifts.

I find 2 on 1 off to work very well...lots of time to rest and grow. I dont get burned out or OT from this style of training. Looks something like this:
Day 1 chest/biceps
Day 2 back/rear delts
Day 3 off
Day 4 Legs
Day 5 Shoulders/triceps
Day 6 Off
Repeat

I tend to grow best off low volume/heavy weight training. 6-8 reps a set/ 6-9 working sets total

So far I think Rippetoe and lyle McDonalds bulking routine worked best for me.

My best ever was a 6-part split spread over 3 days with 2 workouts per day, training 6 days a week. Of course it helped that I worked at a gym at the time and was eating like and animal.

My current program seems to be working well.
Sunday - off
Monday - chest, rear delt
Tuesday - deadlift, calf
Wednesday - Legs
Thursday - shoulders, traps, calf
Friday - back
Saturday - arms

Tuesday was initially going to be an off day but my deadlifts had been suffering lately so I decided to have a deadlift day with nothing else to worry about and it has worked very well. I train traps with shoulders and not back because of time and energy. For a long time I used a split of chest/sh/tric, back/bic, legs and did each twice per week, once heavy, once lighter. It worked for a while for some bodyparts but really started to burn me out and I missed the straight arm work - as I felt my arms were getting no place with this split, no worse, just no better. I have tried many different splits throughout my training, but I always seem to come back to what I am doing now, my body just likes it.

[German_Joe]

upper/lower split

doing bill pearls 5x5 at the moment and seems to be improving my lifts fittingly

 

[Arcane1129]

Upper/lower split and HST.

 

[Braaq]

I find low volume, low reps (6-10), and make your workout week extend to 8 or 9 days works best for strength and size gains. It allows for maximum recovery with maximum stimulation.

[Big VIC]

5x5 worked great for me and HIT Training works great for me as well so its 50 50 for me because I will begin switching with each program every month.

 

[samutown]

mon - chest, delts, tric
tue - legs
thu - chest, delts, tric
fri - deadlift, back, bic, legs

 

[SirTeddy]

I've got the best results from a program which is loosely based on Pavel Tsatsouline's book.
Day 1. Chest, Quads, Calves
Day 2. Back, Forearms
Day 3. Shoulders, Triceps
Day 4. Hamstrings, Biceps
Reps/Sets are 5x5-6 avoiding failure. Two exercises per musclegroup.

where is my post?

 

[Big_Guns_Lance]

My training routine is basically from the approach of Dorian Yates (HIT) it just makes sense to me to train in this manner and obvi i wouldnt do it if it didnt produce results

Monday-Back and rear Delts
Tuesday-Delts, Traps and Triceps
Wednesday-OFF
Thursday-Quads and Hams
Friday-Calves, Chest and Biceps

Doing a couple warm-ups per set then one-all out set to failure and often past the point of failure.
